When I never was a girl like Lily
She was a pretty little
heartbreak machine
She had a way to paw the fool and his money
She was the lucky little
gambler's dream
Yeah, and she'd promise up
the world and whatever
And she could get a man to do anything
And by the morning he'd be cleaned out
and crawling on his knees
But every night he'll hear
some poor fool sing
He said, I may not be a rich man, baby
Oh, but I'll tell you
what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna take you out
tonight in the city
I'm gonna spend all my money on you
She'd take a seat off at the
bar around seven
Await for some poor sucker stumbling by
Yeah, and she'd pull him in
and drag him on under
And she'd drown him in
those big dark eyes
And with the moonlight breaking through
a little crack in the sky
Well, he was broken and the
damage was done
He'd give up everything he had
for a love that could never be
Yeah, he'd be screaming
at the top of his lungs
He said, I may not be the rich man, baby
Oh, but I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna take you out tonight in the city
I'm gonna spend all my money on you
One day there came into town
some kind of big shot man
All full of swagger like
some Hollywood scene
I tried to tell him stay away from Miss Lily
That wo man's trouble if
you know what I mean
Well he just laughed and said
I think I can take care of myself
I said well don't pretend you
haven't been warned
They found him walking in the morning
by the side of the road
Yeah, he was naked as the day he was born
He said, I may not be a rich man, baby
Oh, but I'll tell you
what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna take you out
tonight in the city
I'm gonna spend all my money on you
He said, I may not be a rich man, baby
Oh, but I'll tell you
what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna take you out
tonight in the city
I'm gonna spend all my money on you
We'll see time.
